Indeck Keystone traces its roots to 1840 as the Presque Isle Foundry, an early manufacturer of boilers and steam engines. When Erie became an incorporated city, the company changed its name to Erie City Iron Works. In 1859, Erie City Iron Works provided the steam generator and engine to drill the world's first oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania. In 1880 Erie City Iron Works was recognized as the largest boiler manufacturer in the United States. As the 20th century emerged and industrialization of the United States progressed so did the boiler designs of Erie City Iron Works which added watertube boilers burning coal, gas and oil during this growth period. The company changed hands during the 20th century and became known as Zurn Energy Division, Aalborg Industries and Keystone Energy leading to the Indeck Group acquisition and naming the company Indeck Keystone Energy LLC in 2004.
